About Us

Clutha Development is the economic development agency, as well as the Regional Tourism Organisation for the Clutha District. Our focus is on developing and supporting initiatives that will make the Clutha District a place where people love to live, work, invest and visit.

Our key areas of focus are:

Attracting external investment into our district - creating business and employment opportunities. For example, Kaitangata House and Land package, KiwiBuild opportunities, as well as the Clutha Gold Cycle Trail.

Business support services - regular visits to businesses in the district, providing information, training and networking opportunities. For example, the introduction of an HR network in the Clutha District; and assisting with resource consent applications for working in waterways.

Provide support to primary sector projects. For example, the creation of Otago South River Care project which engages our Communities to protect and enhance water quality now and for future generations.
